Picture: No Country For Old Men will and should win.
Director: The Coen Brothers will and should win.
Actor: Daniel Day-Lewis will and should win.
Actress: Julie Christie will win but Marion Cotillard should win.
Supporting Actor: Javier Bardem will win but Hal Holbrook should win.
Supporting Actress: Cate Blanchett will win but Amy Ryan should win.
Original Screenplay: Diablo Cody will and should win for Juno.
Adapted Screenplay: The Coen Brothers will and should win for No Country for Old Men.
Animated Feature: Ratatouille will win. It’s the only one I’ve seen of the three nominated films.
Cinematography: There Will Be Blood will and should win.
Art Direction: Atonement will and should win.
Editing: No Country for Old Men will and should win. I’ll be angry if The Bourne Ultimatum wins.
Song: Once will and should win.
Documentary: No End in Sight will win. I’ve only seen that one and Sicko, and thought Sicko was better.
Foreign Language Film: The Counterfeiters will win. I haven’t seen any of them.
Visual Effects: Transformers will win but I think 300 should win.
Costume Design: Atonement
Make-up: La Vie en Rose
Sound Mixing: No Country for Old Men
Sound Editing: No Country for Old Men
Score: Atonement will win but 3:10 to Yuma should win. There Will Be Blood would have been a lock had it not been disqualified.
Animated Short: I only saw I Met the Walrus. My guess is that one will win.
Live Action Short: The Tonto Woman. I haven’t seen any of these.
Documentary Short: Sari’s Mother. I haven’t seen any of these, either.

Other predictions:
-Heath Ledger will be mentioned twice (including In Memoriam)
-Our president will be mentioned twice
-Anna Nicole Smith will not be part of the In Memoriam segment
-Roy Scheider, despite missing the cut-off, will be included in the In Memoriam segment
-In Memoriam will be ridiculously short, as usual
-Writers will be thanked more than usual
-After last year’s overkill, no airtime will be spent on environmental issues
-Despite bringing last year’s ceremony to a few screeching halts, there will be just as many pointless montages

    I was disappointed that Brad Renfro didn’t make the In Memoriam.

    Good call on a lot of these. Right on the nose for the most part.
